That's exactly what it is! Too bad the skin did tear at some point, so I threw it away and didn't keep it.
By the way, this is one of the first photos taken with my new camera and new lens.
Camera performs a lot better at higher ISO than the old one does (light was low).
Dedicated macro lens is something to hope for - all I could afford at this time was the Canon 24-105mm 1:4 L
I wanted to get myself a good walk-around lens for "all purposes", though I feel this one's somewhat limiting, too, as the 24mm are not as wide as you'd expect with a crop sensor. Ah well...
Ahh I've got that lens on my "to get list" for a walkaround - at the moment the only lens below 70mm that I own that isn't a macro is my kit lens that came with the 400D (18-55mm). A good lens certainly - and whilst 24mm might not be quite as wide it gives you a good excuse to play around with panning and stitching shots
